Honey Butter

This recipe also comes from my "Christmas Recipes from the Lion House" cookbook. It was paired with the Lion House Crescent Rolls. I made it tonight to go with our cornbread and it was very yummy. Not so much "light and fluffy" as gooey, but very delicious. It made about 2 cups worth, so we have lots of left-overs.

Honey Butter

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

1/4 tsp. vanilla

1 egg yolk

1 cup honey

Whip Butter. Add vanilla and egg yolk. Gradually whip in honey until light and fluffy.

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

We have a hard time finding spaghetti sauce that we like, but we found a winner here. It isn't too spicy, too chunky, or too complicated. It is very easy and I've used it on Chicken Parmesan and Eggplant Parmesan. Everyone is different, but our family likes it!

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce ( from The Sisters Cafe)

2 Tbs. olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cans Italian diced tomatoes (I puree these)

1 Tbs. sugar

1/2 tsp. basil

1 tsp. oregano

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until tender.

Add all other ingredients.

Simmer 10 minutes.
